Sands Macau

Last update: Sep. 21, 2007

The Sands is absolutely enormous. It is a gigantic room filled almost entirely with gambling tables. There are slots in places, and I'm sure some restaurants and a hotel somewhere, but all I could see was an endless sea of table games. According to the 2005 Ultimate Casino Guide by Michael Wiesengerg, the Sands has 360 table games! As a basis of comparison the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has only 164. Even Foxwoods has less at 354.

Although the Sands is an American company, there is not a lot of western influence at the Sands Macau. They are evidently saving that for the Macau Venetian. The quality of the property was nice, but nothing noteworthy. There was no entertainment or gimmick to get you through the door. This was a place for no-nonsense gambling.

I'm told by a source with the Sands that it actually has 660 table games, and 1,500 slots. He also mentioned that the Sands has six restaurants and a hotel.
